### 2.4. SNMPv2 Agent

A SNMPv2 agent is the operational role assumed by a SNMPv2 party when it performs SNMPv2 management operations in response to received SNMPv2 protocol messages such as those generated by a SNMPv2 management station (see Section 2.3).

Sometimes, the term SNMPv2 agent is applied to partial implementations of the SNMPv2 (in embedded systems, for example) that focus upon this operational role. Such partial implementations provide for realization of SNMPv2 management operations on behalf of remote users of management services, but they may provide little or no support for local invocation of such services.
